Hacker News "Who is hiring?" thread (freelancer), February 2013

by: menloschool
text: SF Bay Area or Remote<p>Who are we looking for?<p>We would like to hire a competent and reliable freelancer with mostly frontend (but also some backend) skills who can help us with web design/development tasks on an on-going basis. Good communication skills are very important to us, especially if you work remotely and may only ever talk to us over email or phone. We'd like you to have a good eye for design (especially UX) and be able to create some well thought out frontend code (Bootstrap ok). This can turn into a steady stream of work and lots of potential referrals. We like independent thinkers who don't need to be micromanaged, but we gladly provide as much guidance as desired.<p>Who are we?<p>We're an elite private school (grades 6-12) in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our mission is to make learning engaging, joyful, and fun. We love technology and have some very competent hackers working for us. You would be working closely with our full-time web developer, a Hacker News reader who used to be a freelancer himself. We have a lot of exciting web projects coming up and could use someone's help to get us to completion faster.<p>Interested?<p>Great! Send us an email (instructions in profile) with the following info:<p>- your skills
- link(s) to previous work/portfolio/github or whatever shows off your skills
- your rates
- your location<p>We're looking forward to hearing from you!

text: SEEKING FREELANCER<p>Must be onsite in NYC, no remote work unfortunately.<p>Looking for freelancers with experience in the following two areas for a project.<p>Front end development:
- Javascript/backbone - must be able to demonstrate extensive javascript experience
- Bonus if you know Ruby on Rails<p>Server development:
- Go - Not expecting you to know Go, we know it is new enough that few developers have significant experience with it, but we are looking for developers that can demonstrate significant experience in scalable server development in any language. If you do have Go projects to show that is a bonus.
